Just wanted to wish all you Dads out there a Happy Day. Hope it is peaceful and gratifying.
I saw a locally produced show on Kentucky PBS with Dave Shuffit called "Father Loss". It was a beautiful piece done by interviewing some guys about what the loss of their dad meant to them, and how it changed them. One famous person said that a man is not a man until his father dies. One guy whose dad was cold and distant, and an alcoholic to boot, still mourned him, and acknowledged that part of the mourning was about the father he never had...the closeness that could have been, but wasn't.
It was well done, and addressed the fact that there could be depression after the passing of a guy's dad, that often never gets addressed. In this new age of looking mental issues square in the eye, I appreciated it.
